Updates to the Wound in the World (Spoilers) - Rares, Pets, Toys and Bases

In the latest PTR build, the Wound in the World received some new updates, hinting at bigger content updates.\r\rLearn more about 7.3.5 in the Patch 7.3.5 Content Hub.\r\r\r\r\r\rZone Updates\rZone-wise, only a few aspects changed from the last build. Sargeras' Sword, which was just a pink cube in the last build, now uses the same model as it does on the live servers, but without the red corrupted effects. This is likely as a result of the retirement of the Artifact Weapons (Spoilers). The Alliance camp was also updated to a more "under construction" state, now with flight paths added and new dialog on some key NPCs, including Верховный маг Кадгар.\r\r\r \r \r \r\r \r\r\rRare Mobs\rThis build also added more life to the otherside lifeless zone, including four Rare spawns. Three of those rare spawns resemble the models used on the datamined Silithid mounts, so it is likely that they might play a part in acquiring those new mounts. Currently they always reward 0 Ресурсы оплота класса and sometimes Слава доблестного героя\r\r\r \r \r\r\rThose rares also seem to be tameable, as discovered by WoWPetopia.\r\r\rPets and Toys\rThis build also added two new pets and a toy:\r\rUnevolved Silithid Grub, only found in the Pet Journal, with the source listed as "Silithus: The Wound"\rScorpid Skitterer, only found in the wild around Silithus, but still not in the Pet Journal. Currently can't even be battled against.\rDoomsayer Robes, listed currently as a drop from "World Creatures" will likely also be linked to the event to happen in the Wound.\r\r\r\r \r\r

Uh if we are retiring our artifacts in 7.3.5, then why would any new rares drop an AP token? Makes no sense, unless we actually retire them in BfA

What other weapons are we going to use?\r\rMaybe we go through the story of "retiring" our artifacts but practically keep them till 8.0

I hope they do more of the silithid pets that match the mount colors.

Artifacts will remain fully functional ingame until 8.0, and maybe even after that, to preserve the Legion flow of progression.

at least let the story be like this: "after absorbing the corruption's power, our artifact become broken and nearly destroyed, so the quality of the weapon downgraded to rare quality item with 750 ilvl and no traits left"\r\rso players still able to memorizing their weapons instead of totally deleting our artifact weapons

Or did I miss something?

That's very likely what it'll be. There's no indication at all that the weapons are destroyed even lore-wise, our lore avatars will likely use the power gathered during their time in the Broken Isles and channel that into the sword or similar, maybe returning the Artifacts to their former state.

As it's just the lore reason that we won't continue to use the Artifacts, it can happen at any time after Antorus is completed - the events of 7.3.5 likely take place a few days or weeks afterwards, so that's as a good point in time as any. Gameplay-wise, we'll continue using them until we replace them in the beginning of BfA, we won't lose the items themselves, maybe they get changed to static weapons in 8.0, with e.g. a fixed iLvl per level (for alts etc.)

I hope the rare Silithids aren't the only tameable versions of those new skins. Taming brand new rares is a pain in the butt.

Makes no sense, unless we actually retire them in BfA\rJust because they're gone in lore doesn't mean they're gone in gameplay.\r\rAlso true for Argus as in lore the portal is closed but in gameplay, the cutscene for the Argus intro means Argus will still be in the sky for THAT character until they kill Argus the Unmaker on any difficulty.
